Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground turkey (99% fat-free)
  • 1 cup chopped baby spinach
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill
  • 1 teaspoon fresh oregano
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium bowl, place the ground turkey, chopped spinach, diced red onion, minced garlic, fresh dill, fresh oregano, salt, pepper, and crumbled feta cheese. Gently mix everything together until just combined, taking care not to overwork the meat so the patties stay tender.
  2. Shape Patties: Divide the mixture into 6 equal portions and shape each into a patty. Make sure they are not too thick to ensure even cooking through.
  3. Prepare Skillet: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and drizzle in the olive oil. Allow the oil to warm up so it sizzles when the patties are added.
  4. Cook Patties: Place the patties carefully into the hot skillet. Cook them for about 3 to 4 minutes on each side or until they develop a golden brown crust and reach an internal temperature of 165°F, indicating they are thoroughly cooked and safe to eat.

Notes

  • Ensure not to overmix the turkey mixture to maintain a tender texture in the patties.
  • Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F for food safety.
  • These patties can be served with a side of Greek salad or pita bread for a complete meal.
  • Leftover patties can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • For added flavor, consider topping the patties with tzatziki sauce when serving.
